IVOC Canada provides independent assurance that critical NDT and inspection data is acquired by capable personnel, collected in accordance with defined technical requirements and suitable for the decisions it is intended to support.
IVOC verifies personnel competency, inspection execution, data quality and the technical basis of inspection results.
Advanced analysis is only as reliable as the inspection data available for review.
IVOC independently verifies the capability, execution and technical controls behind that data so owners, contractors and engineering organizations can have greater confidence in the information being relied upon.
Independently confirm demonstrated competency for a defined NDT or inspection application.
Confirm that the inspection is performed with the required setup, calibration, technique, coverage and acquisition controls.
Review whether the resulting inspection dataset is complete, traceable and technically suitable for independent analysis.
Independently assess whether the available technical evidence supports the analysis, reporting and conclusions being relied upon.
Inspection analysis continues to become more sophisticated, centralized and automated.
But no analyst, software platform or automated system can recover critical inspection information that was never properly acquired in the field.
Coverage, calibration, acquisition settings, positioning, data quality and traceability directly influence the value of the inspection information delivered to engineering and asset integrity teams.
IVOC focuses on independently establishing confidence in those inputs.
NDT methods cover a wide range of techniques, applications, equipment and inspection environments.
IVOC verification identifies the specific capability that has been demonstrated rather than assuming broad competency from a general qualification alone.
The ability to consistently acquire complete, technically valid inspection data is a specialized capability in its own right.
IVOC provides a structured way to independently demonstrate and recognize that capability.
Verify that personnel assigned to specialized work have demonstrated capability relevant to the defined application.
Independently witness critical activities including setup, calibration, technique implementation, coverage and data acquisition.
Review the available records and inspection data to determine whether the technical evidence supports the work and conclusions being relied upon.
IVOC complements recognized certification, employer authorization, approved procedures, contractor quality systems and owner requirements.
IVOC does not replace CGSB, NRCan, API, CWB or other recognized qualification systems.
These systems remain fundamental. IVOC adds an independent layer of assurance around demonstrated competency, inspection execution and the quality of the technical information being relied upon.
“Better analysis starts with trustworthy data.”
IVOC independently verifies the capability, execution and technical quality behind critical inspection information.
